Ingredients
  

For the Bread

  • 2 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend Ensure it has xanthan gum for best results.
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch Adds chewiness for that artisan bread texture.
  • 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt Essential for flavor enhancement and a stronger dough structure.
  • 1 tbsp sugar or honey Helps activate the yeast; maple syrup can be used for vegan options.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Keeps the crumb tender and adds moisture during the cooking process.
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar Aids in improving rise and achieving a lighter texture.
  • 2 tsp instant or active dry yeast The crucial leavening agent; freshness is key!
  • 1 3/4 cups warm water Activates the yeast and hydrates the dough; temperature matters!
  • 1 tbsp whole psyllium husk powder OR 1 tsp xanthan gum Enhances structure if the flour blend is gum-free.

For Flavor Enhancements

  • 1 tsp garlic powder Infuses a savory zing into your artisan loaf.
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary Adds a delightful aromatic touch.
  • flaky salt and olive oil For brushing and adding extra flavor.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the Crockpot: Line the bottom of your crockpot with a parchment sling for easy removal, and lightly oil the parchment to prevent sticking.
  • Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water and sugar until dissolved. Gently sprinkle the yeast over the mixture, then let it stand for 5–8 minutes until frothy.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour blend, tapioca starch, sea salt, and optional enhancers.
  • Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Stir in the olive oil and apple cider vinegar into the yeast mixture, then pour this into the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  • Let the Dough Rest: Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared parchment, gently shape it into a round loaf.
  • Cook in the Crockpot: Place the dough in the crockpot on HIGH for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Use a paper towel under the lid.
  • Optional Crispy Finish: For a crispy crust, transfer to a broiler or air fryer for a few minutes.
  • Cool and Slice: Remove the bread from the crockpot and let it cool for 1–2 hours before slicing.

Notes

Quality gluten-free flour is essential for the best results. Check the internal temperature of bread to ensure it has reached 205°F for perfect baking.
